Women’s Ambulatory Health Services

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another quiet morning in the neighborhood when a delivery driver pulled up to Women’s Ambulatory Health Services with an unusual request. He asked the receptionist if they could hold onto something for him until later that day—an old, dusty suitcase wrapped in brown paper. Later that afternoon, as everyone was preparing to leave, the receptionist noticed the suitcase had mysteriously vanished. A few days passed before a neighbor knocked on the door, sheepishly explaining he found it and thought it belonged to her. Inside were dozens of mismatched socks and an old photo album labeled ‘Grandma’s Recipes.’

2. A regular patient leaned on the reception desk one afternoon and asked the nurse with a straight face, 'Do you think they use real women for those ultrasounds?' The nurse paused for a moment, then smiled and replied, ‘Oh, I assure you, sir, it’s just a machine.’ A delivery driver overheard and chimed in, ‘I heard they’re actually using frozen peas these days!’ Everyone burst out laughing, and the atmosphere lightened instantly.

3. One day, while waiting for her appointment, an elderly lady brought her granddaughter to the clinic. As they walked through the hallway, the little girl stopped suddenly, pointing at the wall. ‘Grandma,’ she whispered, ‘why does that poster say “Welcome Pregnant Women”?’ The grandmother smiled and replied softly, 'Honey, it means we're always welcome here—even if you're not expecting!' They both giggled as they continued down the hall, the little girl now more curious than ever.

4. A young mother rushed into the clinic, frantically searching for someone who could help her lost toy bear. She had been here before, but never noticed the quirky statue outside. Finally, a nurse pointed towards an old woman polishing a nearby bench. ‘She’s our resident expert on lost toys,’ whispered another staff member. The little girl approached the woman, who smiled warmly and said, “Don’t worry, honey—your bear is right over there.” And indeed, the bear was sitting happily next to the statue, having made new friends with some local pigeons.
